gcc 2.95 was released on July 31, 1999.  The current release is gcc 3.2.

There's a Mandrake RPM at http://rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/cooker/cookfire/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/gcc-2.95.2-12mdk.i586.html

Source at ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/SRPMS//gcc-2.95.2-12mdk.src.rpm

See if that builds.

Andrew.

Hm, you don't need to run this as root.
Here in my env I set the PATH pointing to the ccs/bin/ld. I use the 
tcsh. This is what I put in my .tcshrc:

setenv PATH /usr/local/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin:$PATH
setenv CONFIG_SHELL /bin/ksh

Then source this .tcshrc and configure the gcc to your needs.

e.g, in a directory called objdir which is on the same level as the gcc-src.

../gcc/configure --prefix=<where to install>

after configure completes, a make bootstrap should run through.

Gerald,

I am new for program installation and am not sys admin. 
I tried to understand the instructions, but i think that i did not
understand very well.
Probably, my problem for ld is related to the path definition. I am
running the program "configure" as root. While as root, the system
does not find ld command. Actually, i have link editor program which is in
a different path. I tried to give a path for the ld command in configure 
as below,

ld='/usr/ccs/bin/ld'

I am not sure i am doing correctly. 

Could you help me?
Gonca

Please do not contact several addresses with your questions at once.
Please refrain from sending HTML mail.

  configure: error: no acceptable ld found in $PATH
  Configure in /export/home/gonca/gcc-3.2/objdir/zlib failed, exiting.

This error message from your run of configure says it: you do not have
a suitable ld in your $PATH.

(You _did_ follow the instructions as presented at
  http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#*-*-solaris2*
didn't you?)
